Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chromatography remains a cornerstone of pharmaceutical analysis, with recent advancements greatly enhancing its applications across diverse areas such as drug analysis, bioanalysis/pharmacokinetics, natural products, metabolomics, formulations, and nanotechnology. These innovations have improved efficiency, sensitivity, and sustainability while expanding the field’s scope.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent progress and emerging trends in chromatography, focusing on techniques such as HPLC, UHPLC, GC, HPTLC, and SFC, coupled with various detectors. We welcome contributions exploring the following topics:
- The drug analysis of chemical drugs and their formulations.
- The analysis of biological drugs.
- Bioanalytical applications in biological media, including pharmacokinetics, toxicology, metabolomics, proteomics, and anti-doping studies.
- Advances in stationary phases for pharmaceutical applications.
- Natural product research and applications.
- Eco-friendly and sustainable approaches in pharmaceutical analysis.
- The integration of experimental design and artificial intelligence (AI).
- Miniaturization and microfluidic chromatography.
We encourage all researchers to submit original research and review articles that provide significant updates on the utilization of chromatography in pharmaceutical analysis.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and advancing the field together through this Special Issue.
Dr. Yannis Dotsikas
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
